SNIP

Sighing as she saw the invite, Danora shook her head. She wasn’t fond of ship wide parties. The crowds seemed pointless and she never knew how to talk to crewmates who weren’t engineers or into AI like she was. The only saving grace, in her mind, was she would see the XO. It still amazed her he had come back in that capacity. She hadn’t realized how much she had missed him being around till he had arrived back on the ship in a shuttle that shouldn’t have been able to fly, much less keep him alive. But she was glad it had.

Making sure her uniform was neat and clean, she merely used a couple more pins to tuck her hair back up in places it had wisped free around her face. She wasn’t going to go through the hassle of redoing it, not for this. But she wanted to at least be presentable. And in a uniform, she knew she didn’t have to worry about whether the colors, cut or style of clothing were right or appropriate.

Stepping into the lounge, she glanced around at those already assembled. Thinking to get a drink, she headed to the replicators. A smile of genuine warmth lit her face as she saw the XO there. “Evening, Sir. Can I help with anything?” She was sure the XO and CO were putting on the party and wanted to help out. And it gave her a reason to be around him.

Lt JG Danora Allance
AI Spec

Ensign Nishizumi (Doctor)

Dr. Grey - CMO

JT could feel his eyes widen and a smile come across his face when Danora entered and approached him at the replicator “Keep me company?” he responded with a smile as the tray of drinks materialized. Taking the tray out and looking at the engineer he rose it slightly towards her “Care for a drink?” he asked.

XO

Danora blushed and nodded. “I’d be happy to.” She took the first off the trays that appeared. “As for drinks, let’s help the others get theirs, then we can manage it’s without the ice watering it down.” She helped him pass the drinks to the others.

in short order, everything was set up “Now we just wait for everyone else to show up!” she said Other people were filtering in though mostly NEs and NLTs but still Tralla moved off over by herself to watch her crew be social and happy

Tralla

Aidan walked into 2 Forward and stopped just inside the door, surveying the gathered crew. He was still trying to learn everyone’s names, and get settled into a new routine, so for now he was content to stand on the side and see what was going to happen.

Moving around the room, he nodded to a few of the other security officers he had met so far.

Ens Harmon - Sec

BJ entered awaiting what his wife had planned. A party needed music. But, there didn’t seem to be a band on board. Not that he couldn’t help out with that.

Janzen

As her tray emptied, she excused herself from JT’s side and went back to get their drinks. Doing a quick query as to the most frequent ordered drink from the new XO, she added a second one for herself and moved back through the crowd. Tapping Robinson on the shoulder, she waited till he turned, and smiled. “Rumor has it, this is your favorite.” She handed him the drink and hoped she hadn’t chosen wrong.

Danora
AI Specialist
Engineer

JT saw the drink and smiled at the Engineer. “Just what the doctor ordered” he joked as he took the drink. Then motioning towards an empty table near the window he asked “Shall we?”

XO

After a while of mingling it seemd everyone who was going to show had Tralla stepped forward and tapped her glass with a fork to get everyone’s attention “I actually have a special announcment as part of why I have gathered you all here today In this last mission there was an Officer who stepped up and was dedicated to learning all she could about our visitor’s prison and with the departure of our former Chief Engineer to new adventures We are in need of a new Chief So Lieutenant Danora Allance Please come up here” she said looking to the Chief Engineer with a smile

Tralla

Danora was sitting with the XO near the window when the clink of silverware on glass took her attention from the stars outside. She had been smiling and nodding to others as they passed. Sure, she was being polite. But in truth it was because this was the first time her and JT had been together since the night he had arrived and they weren’t just passing or speaking about work. She had been stalling.

But now, as she listened, half expecting one of the security team to be called up for bravery, et cetera et cetera, she heard her own name. Stunned, it took her a moment to register and process what had been said. Setting her glass down on the table, she glanced at the XO with an expression that was both pleading to be let out the spotlight, as well as begging him to tell her what was happening. When no answer was immediately forthcoming, she turned to the CO and smiled as she stepped towards the woman. “Ma’am…” she murmured with a nod when she was within a few paces of the Captain.

Danora
Engineer
(oh gods… what did I do now?)

Tralla noticed that Allance was not paying attention and thus when Allance came forward Tralla had changed her expression to a frown “Lieutenant Danora Allance For the crime of Dedication, Quality of service, and unwavering dedication I hereby promote you to Full lieutenant with all the rights and privileges there in and Appoint you as Chief Engineer of the USS Memorial and my god have mercy on your soul!” she said leaning in her frown hard to keep on her face as it slowly changed into a poo eating grin handing Danora a small jewelry box which of course held the new full pip that would replace Danora’s current half pip

Tralla

BJ watched the ceremony. He had been on the receiving end of this. “She’s got the hard one out of the way.”BJ commented.

Janzen

Dani hadn’t been paying attention. When the frown came and the words “For the crime of…” she blanched and bit her lip. About to retort with some excuse, the rest of the words hit her like the stun setting of a phaser.

Promote and Lieutenant and Chief Engineer

“I…” she stammered, completely at a loss for words. The grin that soon lit up the Captain’s face almost brought Danora to her knees. As the woman leaned in, she took the box in severely shaking hands and shook her head. “You got me, Ma’am… and may the gods have mercy on your souls if I’m now in charge of keeping us afloat.” She managed a laugh, but it was a nervous and shaking one. She shook the CO’s hand and shook her head, still in disbelief. The shock of what had just occurred, still not completely settling in yet.

Something else kicked into the back of her mind just then as well. She wasn’t just some lowly engineer anymore. She was a Department Head. Perhaps there was a chance for her and JT after all? Mentally dismissing the foolish thought, she knew he had more important things than her to worry about. He was XO now and she, despite the recent promotion, was still just one of his engineers. “Thank you, Ma’am,” Danora said once more before looking back towards her table wanting nothing more, suddenly, than to slink under it and disappear.

Danora
CE/AI Spec

She smiled and shook her new Chief engineers hand “Congratulation you earned this” she said before motioning to dismiss Danora back to her table “Well that’s the main event I had lined up everyone enjoy this for the rest of the evening we have snacks drinks and good companionship you all worked hard on that last mission so enjoy some rest” she finished before sitting back down to watch her crew contently

Tralla

Jack raised a glass to the newly raised Chief Engineer, he didn’t know the woman well but she had made a favourable if chaotic first impression during her boarding nearly a year earlier. He took a few steps back near a table and took a sip from his drink.

Dr. Grey - CMO

JT also raised his glass and gave the new CE a wink before taking a sip.

XO
